Maybe a little involuntary time away from the game has done Joffrey Lupul some good.

He’s been red-hot since returning from forearm surgery on March. 16, continuing his five-game point (and goal) streak with a goal and a helper in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 6-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.

After going without a point in three games before that freak injury, he now has seven goals and two assists for nine points during this five-game streak. The video above just happens to be the prettiest one.

Phil Kessel’s facial expression probably captures the mood (via Getty):
